You can tell from the tail of the plane that it is in middle of pushback

Great shots as always, Aharon. However, I had a feeling that something wasn't quite right when I looked at the shots of the Airbus on the ground.. After a while, I realised why. There are no shadows cast on the ground by the plane. Have you deactivated them in the sim?

@HighBypass,

Thanks for kind words and good question!!

I deactivated the shadow option because using shadow option makes all AI traffic by other airlines totally invisible hence me preferring AI traffic over fancy shadow option.

Regards,

Aharon

A sound argument for turning off the shadows. 🍻 Thanks.
